I was expecting a staring contest, but this has been really good so far.

 

[Fox318]

Holm must cut the most weight in the division

She always looks so fucking huge

 

[K.Jack]

To be such an accomplished boxer, and so long, why the fuck is Holly's jab game so lacking?

 

[Fox318]

I keep on expecting Shevhenko to throw some right elbows in.

 

[brentech]

To be such an accomplished boxer, and so long, why the fuck is Holly's jab game so lacking?

She appears to be fighting like she's the shorter one. She needs to utilize leg kicks off of her jab.

Maybes she just isn't good at fighting south paws?

 

[Fox318]

Holly and Sage Northcutt need to just go to some BJJ school and stay on the mat for halfd a year

 

[Alucard]

Not a regular MMA watcher, but tuning into this main event, and I've enjoyed it up to this point.

 

[BigJonsson]

Uhhhh shouldn't her corner or someone try and yell at the ref that her mouthpiece is out?

 

[Macattk15]

Holm was a fluke. God damn.

 

[Fox318]

Holm was a fluke. God damn.

1. Holly is not a fluke. Her ground game is
2. Her victory against Ronda was as much about matchups as Rhonda's shit coaching and her thinking she is the next Rock
3. She is up against a very good striker right now and is keeping the battle standing up.

 

[Alucard]

I miss Ronda, guys.

 

[brentech]

Waiting to find out if Holm has an ounce of killer instinct in her. i feel like she has to finish.
Only seen her earn finishes via people running into her.

 

[Fox318]

god Holm needs to be able to take somebody down and do something different.

 

[Alucard]

Shevchenko looks far more composed. Holm looks too loose and nervous. She's lashing out wildly.

 

[Fox318]

and with that Greg Jackon just destroyed any drawing value Holly Holm had this year.

 

[K.Jack]

No empathy for a tall fighter who can't control range.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

I agree and I also don't understand how Holly being a boxing champion is fighting like the shorter person.

 

[Macattk15]

1 Dimensional Fluke. Ronda was a better 1 dimensional fluke.

 

[NomarTyme]

Wow! completely outclassed Holms.

 

[Alucard]

So...that was pretty much a draw, right? Or maybe slight edge to Shevchenko.

 

[Epsilon-delta]

No empathy for a tall fighter who can't control range.

Exactly. She should be embarrassed with her fight.

 

[Macattk15]

In no world did Holm win that fight.

 

[Fox318]

I want to see Shevhenko vs Nunes 2

 

[Guru-Guru]

Holm is already 34 years old too, so at this point in her career we aren't going to see her improve much on her weaknesses.

 

[dream]

Back to Legacy with you, "Holly Holm."

 

[NomarTyme]

New crop of Female fighters.

 

[Alucard]

Back-to-back losses for Holm. People would still pay for the Ronda rematch, though.

 

[brentech]

Holly too one dimensional. She can pick apart non strikers that can't take her down, or people rushing her like Ronda, but she hasn't looked good even in wins where people could exchange with her.
Terrible usage of her length. I don't see her earning another shot ever. Too much of a point fighter. Maybe too much boxing mentality.

 

[dark_quota]

Good job Shevchenko.

 

[MassiveNights]

Five rounds of Holly Holm punching thin air. No idea why she couldn't find her range. Scared of kicks.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

damn Holly looks broken

 

[Fox318]

They set up Holm as a can for Rhonda and Honda decided to fight with her head up and her gloves to the ground like she was roy jones.

 

[Guru-Guru]

Five rounds of Holly Holm punching thin air. No idea why she couldn't find her range. Scared of kicks.

Those combos where she whiffed 3 strikes in a row were brutal. Nothing but air.

 

[dream]

I don't even want to see Ronda get her heat back. Just cut "Holly Holm."

 

[kinggroin]

I wonder how much this loss hurts the monetary potential for a rematch with RR; I mean, it certainly doesn't help any.


I hate saying fluke, but, eh.

 

[Levito]

Holly was doing ok the first round then Shevchenko stopped her circling with those kicks. Then the countering wrecked Holm.

Rousey will probably not come back.

Also, it wasn't a fluke. Shevchenko just fought great tonight, not the same style as Ronda at all.


EDIT: Also I wish it wasn't such a pain in the ass to watch UFC events. Would've love if tonight's show was on fight pass.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Holly/Ronda 2 is probably never happening.

 

[Gr1mLock]

I didn't even know there was a thing today.

 

[Archaix]

I didn't even know there was a thing today.

Were the programming directors at FS1 aware? I'd only seen this card referred to as a Fight Night, never as UFC On Fox. Maybe I just didn't notice the UFC On Fox branding go away previously. I knew the card was coming up but only heard yesterday that it was a Fox show.

 

[juliushandle]

Holly/Ronda 2 is probably never happening.

The mass audience would still rather see Rhonda return against Holly than anyone else though.

[Host Samurai]

Still wanna see Holly vs Cat. I see Cat bullying her.

 

[Weckum]

For GLORY fans: Badr Hari is fighting Rico Verhoeven.

Sort of excited about that actually.

 

[broz0rs]

Holly looked so slow in that fight. I don't see her coming back from this, but she can still get a Rousey fight for a lot less money.

She made the right choice by not waiting for Rousey, but the UFC fucked up big by not making Holm-Tate 2, winner gets Rousey. Now the belt is meaningless

Hari has to stay out of trouble until December. I'm going to try and not get too excited until they both step into the ring.

Brazil has a female champ though.

Where did all the Holm fans go..

Holly looked good until Valentina started beating up that front leg, that's when she really started to slow. Pretty sure we're all tired of the consecutive rematches - I'd rather see new matches/faces/styles/reggaeton booty.

 

[Brerlappin]

I started the week trial of Fight pass. Re-watch season 10 of TUF and Rampage still cracks me up. Definitely my favorite season. Poor titties.

Poor pizza box doors.

 

[RBelong2Us]

That insta-boner #1 ranked female brazillian jiu-jitsu practitioner Mackenzie Dern won her first mma fight.

Hope to see her in the UFC soon
